The 2011 LAPC has been underway for the past couple of weeks and kicked off with a $1 Million Guaranteed tournament with $335 buy-in which attracted 4,179 players to surpass the guarantee. The L.A. Poker Classic is held each year at Commerce Casino, and with renowned Tournament Director Matt Savage at the helm. Players come from all over the world to compete in a wide variety of games and more than a month of poker tournaments, not to mention all sorts of cash games but the big draw each year is the LAPC Main Event with the World Poker Tour. Last year’s LAPC Main Event prize pool was a massive $7,152,000 with $1,788,001 going to the winner Andras Koroknai of Hungary.
There are many great events to choose from and below is the complete schedule with list of winners to date. Up to now, the best results by Canadian players is a couple of second place finishes: Larry Vezina of Nelson, British Colombia who came 2nd in a chip chop in Event #13 and won $13,560 and Ryan Son Kee of Toronto in Event #15 winning $4,760.
We’ll be posting more results here as they come in.
Good luck to all Canadians who are playing.
